T5 indicator probs

[carbon lammy]

T5 classic rear indicators come on but don't flash,front ones flash as normal,new indicator switch and flasher unit fitted,wiring checked earths cleaned and checked if I swap wires on switch rears flash and fronts stay on,any ideas what's wrong

Is the headset tell-tale light working ok?

I think I read somewhere that the T5's indicators flashed alternately front/rear so that only one lamp was on at a time. That was supposed to limit the current drain and stop the headlights dimming? I did have a T5 but when the indicators developed a fault I changed the flasher unit and the new one definitely flashed front/rear at the same time and I hadn't noticed what the original one did before it failed The reason I mention it is if true, that might explain how front and rear could operate differently.

Could be a regulator fault maybe??
Try 4 12v 10w bulbs see if that helps

Do a continuity test on the red feed wire, buzzer end will do and see if it has gone to ground.
Exactly the same fault on a mates, and thats what it was.

Worth a look.
